Should you use separate duvets? Experts uncover the benefits of a Scandinavian sleep method

An example of the scandinavian sleep method - two beds close together in a modern bedroom

Couples who share a bed don't always sleep better. Be it through duvet hogging, leg kicking, or even star-fishing, it's quite common for a partner to disturb your sleep. Yet this only seems to be an issue outside of Scandinavia. It seems Northern Europeans have solved the fidgety partner problem. 

In fact, for centuries, they've been sleeping with separate duvets instead of sharing one – also known as the Scandinavian sleep method.

This Scandi-sleep hack has saved sleep and many relationships.
